It's been one week since I came on tour with the guys. It was great seeing all the fans that the guys had, and seeing how much fun they had during signings. Me and Frankie were getting along good. I mean we had a few fights, but it was normal brother/sister fighting. So far I met all the guys producers, managers, and all the other people that helped them along the way. One of the best people was Claudia the guys Choreographer. She was a wicked good dancer and became a really good friend. I have 6 more weeks with the guys, and then I have to go back home. So I can either go back home to MA, or go and live with Frankie in NY. I still had time to decide on that, so I wasn't even thinking about it. Tonight the guys had a show in Long Island, Greg's home town. I was gonna meet the rest of his family, but so far the only person I met was Mrs.Raposo and lets just say that she was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Also, the other guy's families and friends were gonna come. "Hey Emily were almost there" Jesse called out as he stuck his head in my bunk "Hey Jester, sup?" I asked as I sat up so that he could climb up. "Nothing much, just another show" Jesse said as he sat at the bottom of my bunk. "Were here" Chris hollered as the bus pulled to a stop. He was always the first one to know when we got somewhere. Don't ask me how, all I know is that he always screamed it out. That's how I knew. I looked at Jesse and we just laughed. "Lets go" Jesse said as he climbed out off the bunk. I followed him and grabbed my bag. We walked into the arena and I checked my watch to see what time it was. It read 2PM. "Damn there's still 4 hours till the show" I mumbled "Uh-Uh-Uh, no swearing remember" I heard Chris say behind me. "Bite me" I said as I turned to face him "Ohh, that's a definite no-no" Matt said as he came to where me and Chris were sitting "Like you never swear" I said fully aware that they swear more than me. "She got you there" Greg said as he joined us. He sat next to me and took my bag. "Hey, that's my bag" I said while trying to get it. It was sorta hard considering he was stronger and could hold me back with one hand. He opened my bag and took out my CD player. "Well, well, well! What do we have here?" he asked as he took out his Dave Matthews Band CD. "That would be what some of us would call a CD" Jesse said, in a "DUH' tone "No shit Sherlock. Wasn't this the CD that I asked everyone if they knew where it was?" Greg asked looking right at me. "Oh you were talking about that CD, I thought you were talking about Blink-182" I replied "Right, as a thank you I'm borrowing your CD player for today" He said as he gave me back my bag and kept the CD player. "Come on that's not fair, what am I gonna do when you guys are doing sound check?" I asked, more like whined "Guess your gonna have to listen to us, and play "the girl" when we sing our songs." Jesse said knowing what Greg was trying to do. "No, you can't make me do that, and Chris keeps looking at me funny" I said as I hid behind Frankie. Chris had one of those looks that said 'I'm gonna get you my pretty and your little dog too'. After about another 5 minutes everyone started cracking up, including Chris. "What what's so funny?" I asked from where I was sitting comfortably "Nothing, cept you should have seen the look on your face when Greg said that you were gonna play "the girl" tonight" Matt said in between laughs. "Hardy-har-har" I replied and walked up on the stage where Claudia was stretching out for rehearsal. "Hey" I called as I came closer "Hey Em, sup?" She replied and stood up to give me a hug. Lets just say she was REALLY flexible, unlike me. "Nothing much, do you mind if I stretch with you?" I asked, I knew she wouldn't but I liked to ask before I do something "Sure, it's better than doing this by myself." She smiled. We started stretching and after about 30 minutes we were done. She gave me a water bottle and we sat near the edge of the stage. I was sitting Indian style so I decided to try something that not many people could do. I picked up my left foot and brought it all the way to the back of my neck. "Emily, how can you do that and not do a split?" Claudia asked confused "I dunno, guess I'm gifted" I replied and cracked up. I was kidding about the whole gifted thing, and Claud knew it too cause she started laughing with me. I looked over at where the guys were, they were in huddle talking about something, which looked like an argument cause Frankie and Greg looked mad. "Hey Claud, what do you think they're talking about?" I asked looking back at her "Who knows, probably if Britney looked hotter at the 2000 VMA's or the 2001" She replied and smiled. I laughed cause that's what they were usually talking about. ~With the Guys~ "Emily looked really scared when you said that she was gonna play the girl" Jesse said and smiled. "Yeah, but I love torturing her" Greg replied "How the hell can she do that?" Chris asked as he saw Emily pull her leg over her head. "Ouch, that must hurt" Matt replied as he saw what Chris was talking about "I thought she wasn't flexible" Greg said not really paying attention "She isn't, but I guess she can do that" Frankie replied and looked at Greg "Hey Greg, what happened that day on the beach? You never told us" Chris asked and the others confirmed it. "Oh, well I found her at her secret spot and we talked about her making the decisions on giving Frankie a chance. Then she kissed me, we came home and she got in that whole argument with her mom" Greg said "Wait, you kissed her?" Frankie asked mad "NO she kissed me" Greg corrected him "What's the difference you kissed my sister. How could you?" He yelled, but soft enough so that only them 5 could hear it "What the hell is your problem? If it wasn't for me she wouldn't have even given you a chance. As for kissing her, nothing happened I pulled away as soon as I realized what was happening. Don't go blaming me or her for that matter" Greg screamed in the same tone, enraged that Frankie would even go into that. "Do you like her?" Chris asked serious. He knew when to be serious and when to joke "No. Like I told her. I like her, but not in that way" Greg answered, but wasn't sure if it was the whole truth. "Good, I don't want any one of you going out with her" Frankie said and walked to the stage for sound check. "That went well, don't you think?" Matt asked as all of them followed Frankie. The guys did sound check 3 times as always and everything went as planned. Before the show they hung out and met some contest winners. At 6, they did the show. Greg picked out a little girl from the audience during "Jennifer Good-bye" and danced with her on stage. The guys each spoke to the crowd and touched hands. After the show they had a meet 'n greet. Greg's sisters and his dad were there, so I got to meet them. Also, Jesse's little brother Timmy was there. *The part where I pull my leg over my head is true. I'm not flexible, but I can do that. I'm not sure how I can do, but I've been doing it for a while and it always works. What's funny, I can't even do a full split..lol.. Hope you like the story so far..Laterz...** |
